IMPROVEMENT IN CIDER MILLS AND PRESSES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 170,275, dated November 23, 1875; application filed September 11, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY KRUMSIGK, of Nashville, in the county of Washington and State of Illinois, have invented a new and Improved Combined Cider Mill and Press, of which the following is a specification:

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a top view, and Fig. 2 a vertical longitudinal section on the line 0 c, Fig. 1, of my improved cider mill and press combined.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondin g parts.

My invention has reference to such a'combination of cider mill and press that the apples, grapes, or other fruit passing through the mill may be directly conveyed to the press-box, and the press be worked in connection with or without the mill, as required.

The invention consists of a mill-supporting frame, that is placed laterally across the pressbox, and attached to the standards or main posts of the press, the mill-operating shaft being journaled in bearings of the lateral frame, and made detachable with the same and the mill.

In the drawing, A represents a cider-press of the customary construction, and B an apple, grape, or other fruit mill, which is supported above the press-box 0 011 a lateral frame, D,which rests on the horizontal inclosing frame of the press-box,- and is attached, by strong fastening screw-bolts, to the main posts or standards of the press. The drivingshaft E of the mill B extends across the full length of the supporting-frame D, and turns in bearings a of the same, so that by a crankhandle or a pulley for power-mill, b, at one end, and a fiy-wheel, d, at the opposite end of the shaft, the mill can be operated conveniently, so as to deliver the crushed apples or other fruit directly into the press-box, saving thus the time and labor required for transferring the same from the separate mill to the press.

When the press is desired to be worked without the mill the fastening-bolts have to be withdrawn from the main posts, and the supporting-frame, with shaft and mill, is taken down, to be applied again as soon as required.

The arrangement of the mill on the press- HENRY KRUMSIGK.
